No One Lives I tried to find a trailer that didn't give to much away. It's better to just watch the movie quickly unfold.Didn’t think much about this movie when picking it up. I only remember the trailer intrigued me.
The synopses on the back sums it up well.
A ruthless criminal gang takes a young couple hostage and goes to ground in an abandoned house in the middle of nowhere. When the captive girl is killed, the tables are unexpectedly turned. The gang finds itself outsmarted by an urbane and seasoned killer determined to ensure that no one lives.
This is an interesting film in that at the core, it is a gory, slasher movie with a psychopath who, though has no heart, is very intelligent. The character reminds me of Chigurh from No Country for Old Men. And his targets are low life’s that get what’s coming to them. And to add some thickness to the rather straightforward story is young woman who already come face to face with the serial killer and is telling her new captors what to expect.
There is one scene in here that is extraordinary and you will drop your jaw and go “Oh, no he din’t”. You may buy into it or you may roll your eyes. You will know without hesitation what I’m talking about.
No One Lives does get very, very bloody, I think it’s more than the standard fare of mindless slasher movies. While I probably won’t watch it again, I was entertained while watching it last night.
